He asked NPL management to work together with government in order to build trust with each other.

“Let us build up this relationship in order to develop the nation together because sometimes it does not really help to keep on presenting problems without offering solutions and it is high time we intensified this relationship,” he said.

NPL deputy chief executive officer (DCEO) Alfred Ntonga assured the minister of the company’s continued professionalism and fairness in its reporting.

He said NPL had set ambitious goals and “that is to chase after facts” and ensure fairness to everybody.

Ntonga also briefed the minister on NPL profile, operations and the company’s five titles comprising the flagship newspaper The Nation, Weekend Nation, Nation on Sunday, Nation Online and Fuko.

Ndau also visited Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (Macra) where he called on the executive management to apply stringent strategies to overcome emerging challenges.

  1. Too much empty talk.

    “…build trust with each other”. How do you do that with a bunch of crooks? NPL should keep these guys in check; don’t be too cozy with them. They’re full of shit.

    “…without offering solutions…” But the president claims he doesn’t even read the local papers. Among many things, he has been told to make the ACB independent. Fire the corrupt officials, starting with himself. Can the govt pay heed to any of these suggestions? Mxii!!
